Wingnuts often throw the line “You can’t just throw money at something and expect it to improve.” Sure, that’s true to some extent but they ignore that you can’t just cut everything and act like people won’t be adversely effected. And of course lectures about bootstraps by people who didn’t need the help since they were wealthy already (Hi Mitt) or people who benefited from the same programs they wish to weaken or dismantle (Hey Paulie Ryan).
